Musical career
Ralph Myerz and The Jack Herren Band
The band was formed in 1997 when Erlend Sellevold aka DJ Ralph Myerz asked for people to play percussion with him during a party in Bergen. Thomas Lønnheim and Tarjei Strøm showed up through a combination of mutual contacts and high-school friendship. Supposedly a one-time-event, they had so much fun playing together that they decided to form a band, and Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band was formed.
Datarock
Strøm was a touring and studio session drummer for the Norwegian rock/electronica group Datarock.[3]
Studio/session work
Strøm has contributed to albums by several artists, among those Kings of Convenience, Ephemera, and Maria Mena.
